Good day!

Please visit the exhibition "Ay, Mikhnov" in the Collector's Gallery of Art DiDi (February 7 - March 19, 2013).

The exhibition is dedicated to the series "Tube". This technique was invented by the artist in 1956-59's. He gave her a name, with an emphasis on clean paint as a source of creativity: the essence of the method was squeezing paint onto the surface of the canvas directly from the tube.

He also used the ideographic script: stylized archaic figures of people and animals, images of simple organisms, like magnification, abstract schemes of labyrinths and missiles.
